摘要： Techniques are described for facilitating use of sequences of invocable services in a configurable manner, including by providing a metering service that tracks the use of invocable services by other invocable services or applications. In at least some situations, the invocable services are fee-based Web services or other fee-based network-accessible services, and are made available by providers of the services for use by others in exchange for fees defined by the service providers. The described techniques facilitate use of a sequence of such invocable services by applications in a manner configured by the creators of the applications and providers of the services, including to allow the application creators to define pricing terms that will be used to determine fees that end users of the applications will be charged for use of the invocable services via the applications.

摘要翻译： 描述了以可配置的方式促进使用可调用服务序列的技术，包括通过提供通过其他可调用服务或应用跟踪可调用服务的使用的计量服务。 在至少一些情况下，可调用的服务是基于费用的Web服务或其他费用的网络可访问服务，并且由服务提供商提供给其他人使用以交换由服务提供商定义的费用。 所描述的技术有助于通过由应用程序的创建者和服务提供者配置的方式通过应用程序来使用这种可调用服务的序列，包括允许应用创建者定义将用于确定终端用户的费用的定价术语 的应用程序将通过应用程序收取使用可调用服务费用。
